Another vlog featuring work, Strawberry Matcha, and Chicken Biryani.
Strawberry Matcha
I have always avoided matcha after I tried it in college. But I have so far loved Hojicha and Black Matcha. And my cousin urged (more like forced, actually) me to try Strawberry Matcha and I liked it. So on this day, I ordered Strawberry Matcha.


I think this is the first matcha drink I truly enjoyed. Some may say it’s cheating because it has Strawberry. Maybe so but I was sincerely happy to be enjoying matcha for the first time. And all the while we were at a work meeting, by the way.
I had another glass of Iced Pourover Coffee as my second drink.
&Matcha is on our list of Best Matcha Bars in Davao. They are located at Three Yards, Casiana Villa-Abrille Street, Juna Subdivision. Their main branch is in Cabaguio Avenue.
Dani’s Palace Shawarma and Grill
For dinner, we headed to Limaria for Dani’s Palace Shawarma and Grill.


Dani’s is one of our go-to restaurants. And the Chicken Biryani is one of our favorite dishes there. We also ordered a side of their Beef Kofta. And both did not disappoint. I love how well-seasoned and well-cooked the chicken was. Juicy, tasty, and tender. And the rice was fluffy and flavorful. Plus, the serving was huge for the price. And we just had to order additional garlic sauce.
Chicken Biryani by Dani’s Palace is one our list of January 2025 Recommendations.
We dropped by Yesterdays Coffee + Bar for a dose of caffeine.
Dani’s Palace and Yesterdays are located at Limaria along Maa Road in Maa, Davao City.
